2006 Honda Accord 2.0L Petrol · WV55 AHE

The 2006 Honda Accord remains roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 14 February 2026, which recorded no defects at 114,365 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable; the vehicle has consistently passed each test, with only minor, repeatable issues such as small oil leaks and occasional brake‑pad wear. No major structural or mechanical faults have emerged in the last five years. The mileage pattern is low for a vehicle of its age. With 114,365 miles over roughly 20 years, the average annual mileage is about 5,700 miles, well below the typical 10,000–12,000 miles a modern car might accumulate. The gaps between tests are normal, ranging from one year to a little over two years, and the mileage increments between them are moderate. The only noticeable jump is the 2,134 miles covered between the 18 February 2025 and 14 February 2026 tests, which is within expected annual usage. The duplicate 14 January 2022 entries—one pass and one fail—highlight a headlamp failure that was corrected before the pass. A prospective buyer should inspect the following items in person. Verify the headlamp system, especially the near‑side front dipped‑beam unit that failed in January 2022. Check for any persistent oil leakage around the engine bay, as oil leaks were recorded in 2020, 2024 and 2025. Inspect the front anti‑roll bar ball joint for play, which was noted in the February 2024 test, and confirm that the suspension bushings and coil springs are free from cracking or excessive wear. Examine the tyre tread depths, as the vehicle has repeatedly approached the legal minimum on several occasions (2014, 2015, 2019). Finally, review the brake pads and discs for wear, and inspect the undertray and chassis for any corrosion or structural damage that might not have been flagged in the MOT reports.
